Follow Up

Few things for those who attended class last night that I neglected to mention...Can you believe there is STILL MORE TO TALK ABOUT?!

1. Medication - Did you know that A LOT of drug companies post coupons on their website? Yep. If you have any medications, allergies or creams that you need to use - check out the company's website and see if they offer a coupon!

I once had to get a cream for a rash I had. My Dr. Prescribed me a perscription cream which I promptly went to get. When I got home, I looked up the company's website to read up on that particular cream and lo and behold there was a $10 off coupon for it!

So check to see if there are extra savings out there that you don't even know about!

2. Bargain! Did you know that you can bargain for just about anything? When was the last time you walked into Best Buy and negociated a price for that Big Screen TV? Did you know you could?

Just about all retailers will negociate wtih you as long as it's reasonable. All you have to do is ask. Generally the guy behind the counter or walking the store doesn't have that kind of power. Just ask to speak with his manager or ask him to consult with his manager about a price.

My husband worked at Best Buy last year for the Holidays. A co-worker told him of an incident that happened to him. A guy walked into the store promptly told the customer service person what TV he wanted and then said "I'll pay you $1750 for that TV." The TV was listed at $2200. (or roughly thereabout) The worker was shocked. He'd never had anyone try to negociate a deal. So he went and found his manager to seek help. The manager looked up on the computer how much the TV had been for sale for the last 4 weeks. And sure enough 4 weeks ago the TV WAS actually for sale for $1750. So the manager told the customer - You've got yourself a deal!

The guy left happy that he just saved $550 on his TV and the manager was ok with it because just a few weeks ago they were actually selling that TV for that price.

Most retailers will honor a 30 day price guarentee. If they sell your item for cheaper within 30 days after you buy it, you can get the different back! But what we didn't know is that sometimes you can do it for the preivous 30 days too!

So if you want a high ticket item and it goes on sale but you don't have the funds...ask the next time your in the store for the sale price that you missed!

Happy Shopping!

Cheapest Gift You'll Ever Give

Thanks from a tip from my friend Bethany in Utah, I am the new proud owner of (5) of these babies and (5) 8" square brownie ones too (10 total)! If you don't mine purple Pyrex then you'll flip for this deal.

Shop World Kitchen has these on deal right now. Pyrex 9 x 13 Amethyst baking dish is currently on sale for $1.99 each! The matching Pyrex 8x8 Amethyst baking dish is ALSO $1.99 each!

PLUS if you use coupon code: A20502 then you too can get 20% off your entire order!

So if you are anything like me, a squirrel who finds deals, stocks up, and then uses them when the right moment comes then you'll want to take advantage. (or if you need some for you - then that works too). What a great wedding gift. Give the bride and groom one of each and you've just spent a whopping $3.98 on them and they'll never know! Happy Shopping!

Too Good NOT to Post About

Are you familiar with the Cosmetic Line E.L.F.? ELF stands for Eyes Lips Face and for all I know is only online. Seeing as how I don't really wear makeup, I've never shopped with them before but have been tempted MANY MANY times to snag a few items for stocking stuffers and Birthday/Christmas gifts over the past 2 years.

The main reason this company stands out and why a non-makeup wearer such as myself has been tempted is because most of their makeup sells for $1 each and from what I hear is good quality.

Well today, my temptation to purchase from them was turned into action. Not because I am now changing my lifestyle to include makeup but because they are offering a deal that I cannot pass up - and quite frankly, neither can you.

ELF right now has a deal that if you purchase $20 worth of anything on their website and use the coupon code DINE when you check out, you'll get a $25 gift card to Restaurants.com PLUS ONE Fandango Movie Ticket ($10 value).

So lets do the math here. I will get $20 worth of make-up, a $25 gift car and a $10 movie ticket (total of $55 worth of stuff) for $26.98 (shipping is $6.95). Seeing as how I do eat on occassion and how I do go to the movies about once a year (because the cost is outrageous!) I think I can handle this.

So what did I purchase? Mainly non-makeup items. I purchase a few travel mirrors, tweezers, lip glosses, nail polish remover pads (that don't require the bottle of solution) and some shine free papers all stuff that a non-makeup wearer such as myself might and will actually use. And I think I'll do it ONE more time and get a few things for a goodie basket at church.

OH and one of the cool things that they have on their website - which I've heard a few people say they wish they had is a DVD on how to apply makeup - you know the professional and correct way.

So if this deal sounds good to you go check them out. And if you want a little EXTRA bonus, purchase through Ebates and get 4% back on your entire purchase!

After Christmas Sales

How is your after Christmas deal shopping coming along?

Like many of you, I LOVE after holiday sales. In fact I NEVER buy anything "holiday" related BEFORE the day, but purchase it after the day and then save it to use the next year. It's a wonderful treat not only to pay 50 - 75% LESS than everyone else, but every year when I pull down my decorations, It's a HUGE treat to see and USE all my new treasures.

I've been busy After Holiday shopping and poor Ben just smiles when I haul home more decorations and goodies for the up coming year.

For those of you who haven't started but wouldn't mind browsing, let me tell you of some of MY favorite spots this year.

Linen 'n Things - Did you know that LNT is going out of business? Yep, all stores NATIONWIDE are going out of business. Right now you can get many things 40 -70% off at their stores AND online! I've not been to the store here in town to see what deals they have (as I'm never on that side of town) but I have done a bit of online shopping.
Some of my favorite treats were Silverware (something we've wanted to replace as our original set is missing random pieces). I purchased 2 sets which were normally $119 each. With the great deals, I only paid $31.99 each! What a great deal. I also snagged the last two of that particular set!

Another amazing deal was PedEggs. Normally $9.99 - I only paid $4.79 - great for a beauty gift basket!

I also snagged table clothes at a whopping $2.59 EACH!

William Sonoma - What Cook/Baker/Kitchen Fanatic doesn't love the store William Sonoma? Some of my most favorite kitchen gadgets have come from this store. Right now, WS has some amazing AFTER Christmas deals! They have all kinds of goodies and gadgets and tools that are all on sale/clearance. If you've ever wanted something but found them to be a bit too steep in price, check out their after Christmas clearance deals! Also remember that if you shop at WS online, to shop through ebates and get money back on your purchase!

Crate & Barrel - I love CB! And right now they have all kinds of deals going on. Stock up and prepare for next year! Wrapping Paper, decorations, serving trays etc. Shop Shop Shop and look EXTRA stylish next year at your party!

Hallmark - I went to my local H store the other day looking to stock up on these amazing plates that my MIL gave me for Christmas. When I walked in they had all Christmas and New Years on sale for 50% off! This included ornaments, wrapping paper, cards, decorations, Christmas Elf's, books etc. I walked in looking for a few extra plates and walked out without the plates but a bag full of goodies for everyone next year and some stylish wrapping paper! I got a few cute treasures to give out as gifts for next year plus a few things that have sparked a few creative ideas that are now brewing.

Target & Walmart are also great places to look for stocking up not only on decorations but lawn ornaments and Christmas snacks and gift packs! Oh and one more mention for Toys R Us. I swung over to them to check out their deals and snagged a few wii games that were 50 % off PLUS B1G150% off. So I got two games which should have cost me $80 for $30 (plus s&h).

Did you get any great deals! If so let me know, but don't tell Ben...he'll get a real shock when she sees all my goodies coming in! tee hee hee!

Hot Victoria Secret Deal!

Update: I've tried this along with a few of you, and can't seem to get the entire thing to work!! After researching this a bit further and calling Victoria Secret, Apparently the "sweater" part of the deal ended yesterday. The other two codes should work together but wont. BUT if you really need new bras and panty's then Here is how to get the BEST deal possible!


Purchase ANY 2 REGULAR PRICED bras (2/$40 and 2/$44 do not work) and get the panty mentioned in the blog below. Then enter the coupon code 25PTY. This will get you $25 off 2 bras and a free pair of panties. Then to make the deal even sweeter, add the coupon codes FA814857 which will snag you a free $50 messenger bag And also use coupon code FA813549 to get $10 off your next order.


So all in all you should be able to score 2 bras, 1 panty and 1 messenger bag for around $50.00...pretty good considering this is Victoria Secret!


Then if you're REALLY needing a few more bras...do the deal again, but instead of using the last coupon code FA813549 - use the new one that was emailed to you for using this coupon code the first time. Then you'll get 2 bras, 1 panty and another messenger bag for around $40!


Use the messenger bags as Christmas Gifts and then for your husbands gift put on your new duds with a bow on your head. Everyone wins this way!


My sister forgot to mention that she did this deal YESTERDAY when all three codes were working together. So...we'll make due with what we have and still score a GREAT deal.


- Mrs. Heath
I know this is a bit late for a post but I was just told about it NOW!!

With Christmas just around the corner why not spice things up a bit with a gift for that special someone in your life! Every guy loves lingerie and every girl loves a good deal, so why not combine the two?!

My sister told me about this amazing deal she found at $20 Challenge 4 Charity that Victoria Secret is doing. Get two sweaters, two bra's and a panty for less than $20!!

If this deal sounds like one you might be interested in click HERE and snag yours quick! I think this deal ends today!! (well some of it anyway). $20 Challenge 4 Charity does such a great job of explaining it that I dare not try myself!

So start shopping my frugal friends and let me know if it worked for you!
